Phoenix bishop arrested

[Uabassoon]

I hit a pigeon once and cried. I felt like that epsiode of Seinfeld where George hit the pigeon and he started yelling "we had a deal! They fly away from your car and we turn the other way when they poop on the Statue of Liberty"

Living here in Phoenix I need to put my .02 cents in. First of all the Bishop IS being charged with a felony, for leaving the scene of a fatal accident. Unfortunetly the max on that is only 4.5 years...big deal. Two weeks ago to the date Bishop O'Brien was also in the news, for the molestation charges. I don't know what you all saw on TV, but to me he came off as very arrogant. This time I sure hope our CA will not be as nice as the last time.....to me this was a "sign" from God.........to Rick Romley!! (our CA)

As for him thinking he hit a dog or cat.........puleese! The man he killed was close to 300 lbs. Don't you even begin to think he didn't see that! And even if it WAS a poor animal, he is a BISHOP he should have stopped.....NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!

Thanks for letting me vent.........it seems lately its not what you do, its who you are, that matters to the world. My guess is this man will never see a day in prison.

two points here...


1) if anything happens to that guy, I'LL get the blame for it....."richard said, 'run his ass over."

2) i am not to blame for PLAID FLASHBACKS...blame your parents...THEY suffered to earn enough money to send you to parochial school!!!

You know, my grandparents sent me to Catholic school. While I hated it, and the way they treated everyone there, I look back now, and am glad I went, as it has shaped me, and helped me realize who I am, which is NOT one of them.

In the meantime, there are alot of sincere Catholics, and I cannot judge them for who they are. But, as with anything in life, there are alot of hypocrates out there.

All I was saying is if you're going to be a public figure, and yes, a "man of the cloth" is a public figure because he helps to shape ideals and lives, you should step up to the plate when you make a mistake....set an example for crying out loud. Isn't that one of the oaths they take??

It's sad. When I read that he had left the scene, my first thought was that he had been drinking and was afraid to get caught for that too. I hope I'm wrong....

I also had the very same thoughts - he was drunk and didn't want to stop.

The entire situation makes me ill. These are our spiritual leaders......and you wonder why the world has gone mad.

1. He's not MY spiritual leader.....

2. Have any of you ever troed that Catholic communion wine? It's spretty strong stuff!!! When I was a Catholic, 1 sip would knock me almost on my hiney and I would stagger back to my seat. Those Bishops have to drink a whole darn chalice!!! No wonder he was driving like a bloody crank!!!

(I think Rich will back me up on this one)

he he...

I agree, very sad situation and you guys might
be right, he might have been drinking and that
is why he left the scene. (I remember the beautiful actress
Ms. H. Barry (sp) did the same thing, but her victim is still alive)
I can't fathum anybody being so heartless to leave the scene, no matter how scared you are.

I'm glad you gave us the local perspective. This whole situation makes me sick.

maybe you alter boys wern't but this alter girl was... but then again, maybe this alter girl snuck into the wine for sippie sippies too...

Saw this on CNN this morning;

Boy, that was "fast-tracked" wasn't it.....

p.s. Communion wine when given & recieved is in tiny sips
(tastes bitter to me) and won't knock anybody on their hiney.

[CattleDogMom]

actually, if you're what they call a Eucharistic Minister, which are the people that help the priest give out the wine and communion, and you have wine left over in the cup, you have to finish the wine real quick before you give the chalice back to the priest to put it away.

Believe me, it is strong stuff when you're a teenager...

addendum: I'm not a Catholic anymore...I'm a Wicca, and us Wicca love our wine...
